Last week marked the official launch of a ground breaking initiative aimed at supporting caregivers in the workplace, a concept initially proposed a year ago during Australia's jobs and skills summit. This strategic move is heralded by the government as the inaugural step in a comprehensive national strategy designed to enhance assistance for the approximately 2.6 million individuals engaged in the crucial yet often unrecognised role of providing unpaid care to their loved ones. Senior Social Worker Runa Antony, whose expertise lies in working closely with families and caregivers, elucidates on the latest initiative unveiled by the Federal Government. Produced by RaySel.
